👩🍳 Let’s Get Cooking!
- The Filling: In a bowl, mix your cooked meat, sautéed spinach, diced onion, and cheese. Season to taste with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. 🥣✨
- Prep the Dough: Roll out your pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut into equal-sized squares or rectangles. 📐🔪
- Stuff It: Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough piece. 🥟
- Seal it Tight: Fold the dough over the filling to create a square or triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges firmly so no goodness leaks out! 🍴🚫
- The Golden Touch: Brush the tops of your pastries with a beaten egg wash. This is the secret to that perfect golden shine! 🥚🖌️
- Air Fry: Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t crowd them!). Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until puffed and golden brown. 🥨🔥
